Same position as you, never wireless. Just bought my Garmin Edge about a month ago, glad I did.

3 screeens, 7 functions each screeen. The more the smaller the readouts. So if you use 3 on one screen, much easier to read.

It allows me to set up one screen for flat ride, average, speed, time usual stuff. A second for climbing, elevation gain, % of the climb, current elevation level, speed, distance. Then a third for general stuff like time distance average temperature. Lots of choices.

Plus, came with two mounts so I can swap from my roadie to the MTB with no mount changes.

I paid about $250 for it but very happy. I tested the life of one charge and got 16 hours. I believe the difference of the lower models is battery life ( I could be wrong). But I've heard some complain that the battery life dies on a slow century (10 hours?).
